Account for Things and Be Truthful

Local newspaper needs a finance and poetry page.

Successful people,
Who are disliked by others,
Must account for actions.

My Americanized Horn Haiku.
Usually no caps of punctuation.

Those who want you to
Account for things you have done;
Always be truthful.

Beating around bush;
Not considering all facts,
Create big problems.

Primary factor;
What people want to hear;
Sold a bill of goods.

(Merton's Self-fulfilling Policy)

should know interest rate;
Current supply and demand;
stocks and bonds prices.

New jobs created;
Categories they are in;
Also GNP

Living in past;
Have to change requirements;
Adjust to the times.

Accumulation,
Reflecting social structure
Current and present.

How can we cope and maintain ourselves during these days of conflicts and being unsure? History is an interesting word. It is the only noun I know that has a past, present and future verb in it.
